You were sent two drivers to test and never responded. https://forums.openpli.org/topic/87998-octagon-sf8008-wrong-usb-tuner-id/page-4 That was the best time to get your problem fixed! The correct path is: /lib/modules/4.4.35/extra Try copying the entire extra folder from OpenSpa image to the...

There was a thread about this a year or two ago on OpenPli. I had a similar issue with the ATSC usb tuner being recognized as DVB-C. This problem has existed in various forms since Octagon released the SF8008, and this is why I say Octagon does not have "In House" engineers. You were given a...

I find blindscan in the SF8008 Supreme to be a bit unstable. My log files show over 600 blindscans since I have owned the Supreme, which would be a few months. Sometimes the blindscan hangs for no apparent reason, and this is why I say it is a bit unstable. The blindscan plugin is nothing more...

Updates are the responsibility of the image group. There are OE Alliance updates and there are individual image group updates. Whoever makes the Openeight image is responsible for updating it. The Openeight image group may feel no updates are needed right now, or they may simply not have...

Openeight is supposed to be based on OpenPLi, and is part of OE Alliance. Openeight supplies their own enigma2 part of the image, and OE Alliance supplies almost everything else. What is needed to run a particular brand of receiver is in OE Alliance, and not in OpenEight. The driver files for...

Opening the bonnet is not a problem. What would you like pictures of? Seeing the AVL6261C chip is easy enough. But I do not see an easy way to verify the tuner in the Supreme.

Octagon lists RDA5815m for the SF8008 and the SF8008 Supreme. Octagon also says the Supreme has a different tuner than the SF8008. So you can't believe anything Octagon says about the SF8008 Supreme. The lowest usable symbol rate we have been able to get out of AVL6261C is around 500-600. I...

The Octagon Sf8008 Supreme has AVL6261C demod chip. Edision OS MIO 4K receivers also have AVL6261C. This information is verified. Avalink advertises the symbol rates for AVL6261C to be 1000-60000. The SF8008 Supreme is an Edision 4K when it comes to satellite reception. I seriously doubt Octagon...

Hi Please contact Octagon Directly about any problems with the SF8008 Supreme. They have known for months about problems such as the Supreme not being able to receive the advertised low symbol rate transponders and have done Nothing about it. They need to know you are Not Happy with their...

The SF8008 Supreme looks like it has a great blindscan until it is closely examined. The SF8008 Supreme is logging transponders in a blindscsan that it cannot solve. 61 West-Cband is a good example.

I don't think a video is needed now because they know it works. Here is what littlesat was talking about with the erroneous signal: I made a separate setting for the feature in Antenna setup. This way you have the option to turn signal below lock On or Off.

Listen to what they say, they being PLi contributors and devs. Some of these people have been coding enigma2 receivers for about 20 years. They are not trying to be mean. As I have already tried to say, It usually aint easy getting something added to OpenPLi. So they need a video showing it...

A case has been made for it. The SF8008 Supreme shows signal below lock with only enigma2 modifications. Let's see what OpenPLi says. https://forums.openpli.org/topic/97766-octagon-sf8008-supreme-show-signal-below-lock/

Fixed my mistake in applying the enigma2 patch for OpenPLi build. Now my SF8008 Supreme shows signal below lock. Thanks ocean04!

I cannot get signal below lock to show on my Supreme. Enigma2 distros are different. Can you attach the modified enigma2 files (frontend.cpp & frontendparms.cpp)? Thanks.
